About

Open source is ubiquitous in computing—nearly all leading organizations use it to power their work. To deliver innovative products and services to their users and customers, companies must learn directly from the senior technologists and thought leaders who steer the most widely used and influential projects.

The Linux Foundation’s Open Source Leadership Summit is where industry leaders convene to drive digital transformation with open source technologies and learn how to collaboratively manage the largest shared technology investment of our time.

”The only event where I can meet all of the key leaders across the open source cloud computing projects in person. The chance to talk in person, share aspirations and wrestle with new ideas this year have already resulted in collaboration... The institutional knowledge about open source represented by the participants is inspiring. This is an event that can help us build a better software industry.
